Desktop Development Solutions the intended project and determines its goals Systems analysis requirements definition Refines project goals into defined functions and operation of the intended application Analyzes end user information needs Systems design Describes desired features and operations in detail including screen layouts business rules process diagrams pseudo code and other documentation Implementation The real code is written here Integration and testing Brings all the pieces together into a special testing environment then checks for errors bugs and interoperability Acceptance installation deployment The final stage of initial development where the software is put into production and runs actual business Maintenance What happens during the rest of the software s life changes correction additions moves to a different computing platform and more This the least glamorous and perhaps most important step of all goes on seemingly forever The above methodology is tried and true has validity for smaller projects But It Doesn t Work for larger multi user applications The waterfall model is well understood but it s not as useful as it once was In a 1991 Information Center Quarterly article Larry Runge says that SDLC works very well when we are automating the activities of clerks and accountants It doesn t work nearly as well if at all when building systems for knowledge workers people at help desks experts trying to solve problems or executives trying to lead their company into the Fortune 100 Another problem is that the waterfall model assumes that the only role for users is in specifying requirements and that all requirements can be specified in advance Unfortunately requirements grow and change throughout the process and beyond calling for considerable feedback and iterative consultation The needs of development have changed and the methodologies have altered to meet the challenges of networked and enterprise systems The fountain model recognizes that although some activities can t start before others such as you need a design before you can start coding there s a considerable overlap of activities throughout the development cycle The spiral model emphasizes the need to go back and reiterate earlier stages a number of times as the project progresses It s actually a series of short waterfall cycles each producing an early prototype representing a part of the entire project This approach helps demonstrate a proof of concept early in the cycle and it more accurately reflects the disorderly even chaotic evolution of technology Build and fix is the crudest of the methods Write some code then keep modifying it until the customer is happy Without planning this is very open ended and can by risky In the rapid prototyping sometimes called rapid application development model initial emphasis is on creating a prototype that looks and acts like the desired product in order to test its usefulness The prototype is an essential part of the requirements determination phase and may be created using tools different from those used for the final product Once the prototype is approved it is discarded and the real software is written This

3D Web Design and Development s own browser plug in but in our testing and applications we have found it to be very well behaved an we recommend this format highly Neo Paradigms has created several VR projects for the web including a rather large completely VR shopping mall sadly defunct now and quite ahead of its time when commissioned While we would hesitate to suggest an entire web site constructed in VR we have experienced it put to good use to display products in a manner that cannot be competed with The most memorable example was Dodge s web site for their new line of vehicles when the Viper and Neon were introduced The interior of each vehicle was presented in interactive animation that included see thru engine blocks etc We design for and are committed to developing 3D Web content Our works have been part of private digital 3D web art research corporate R D art and educational presentations The 3D web is the home of literary Neuromancers and sci fi trekkers the place of stereoscopic 3D virtual reality 2004 conferences the place of art science and entertainment With 3D animation and scale free network interaction leading to better gaming with stereoscopic 3D viewing and user interaction leading to better entertainment and new forms of art the 3D web continues to grow in visibility and prominence Thumbnail history of Web 3D The VRML Legacy Although we like many other 3D enthusiasts are still romancing Neuromancer a classic 3D work Virtual Reality on the Web has undergone major shape shifts since it s inception as VRML 1 0 in the 90 s VRML was designed for the web to allow real time 3D interactive virtual worlds featuring low poly low bandwidth rendering in a HTML environment VRML node structure has evolved mutated to X3D for extensible 3D markup and much of it is incorporated into the MPEG 4 standard VRML browsers have evolved and new X3D browsers greatly expand on the earlier VRML 97 standards with extended media and texture lighting capabilities The VR field is as wide as open source and proprietary standards allow Open source Cosmo VRML browsers are still in use 12 web users by 1992 s count compared with 40 for standalone Netscape browsers Current 3D web offerings includes game engines Quake Aurora freeware Nebula etc which feature faster animation better lighting ray tracing and better multi user support for 3D environments All software mutates recombines splits apart and VR will continue to evolve into future forms including stereoscopic 3D browsing and 3D gaming 3D Web Java 3D We employ Java applets animations on several client sites as a 2D 3D complement to VR Since the 90 s java applet art and Java 3D has proliferated in part due their cross platform capabilities portability and in part due to the creative efforts of vendors Character driven environments The avatar of old is now streamlined for quick user modification and multi user interactive worlds such as those found in the multi
